by fnovelpia‘… After all, black people are great.’
The disciple burst out in admiration.
Throughout the collapsed city of Netrion, the corpses of Uk warriors who had been lively until just now were walking around.
As my undead army.
In other words, we won.
The Uk were driven out of the city.
There wasn’t much I had to do myself.
At the beginning of Star 8, there was a guy who came towards me shouting that he was a noble warrior, but he ended up slashing me from afar while I was fighting to the death while surrounded by an army of undead.
In addition, there were three other 7-star warriors, and the results were the same.
I would have been a little tired if they attacked all at once, but if there was an army of undead, it would be a different story. The undead that kept rising unless they were completely destroyed were completely defeated.
It’s great if you use Corpse Explosion every now and then, so they die and fly away.
The number of Uk people killed like that was 2,000 to 3,000.
So, all of the remaining mana was used to turn Uk corpses into undead.
Excluding those who died in battle, I currently have about twelve hundred low-level undead in my possession.
“What should I do now? .”
[Are you planning on creating an army?]
Atrot responded to the muttering to himself.
I accepted the conversation for a while.
“It will be like that for one day, and I will have to recover for another day. Because my mana is not infinite.”
[In two days, your enemies will realize your plan and prepare. The enemy’s main unit must have been contacted due to the battle just now. Did you have that in mind as well?]
“… No.”
This is the part that gets to the core.
It certainly cannot be overlooked.
Because the enemies are not easy.
If their spread out army gathers in one place for two days, it will be a headache. In that case, it would be better to attack one more place before the enemy prepares.
‘I think there needs to be a twist!’
The disciple also agreed to this.
Another variable.
A new operation is needed.
So, I asked my disciple for advice.
‘Do you have a good plan?’
‘How about going straight to the gate?’
‘You mean now?’
‘The undead army may be a waste, but it would be more beneficial to move quickly and occupy the gate alone. Because it is the enemy’s only escape route. and… There are a lot of corpses at the gate.’
‘is it… .’
‘The number of soldiers sent at the beginning of the invasion to retake the gate exceeded 10,000.’
“I guess everyone is dead.”
“Yes… .”
It’s not bad.
Occupy the gate.
If you hit one place before the enemy is ready, there is no better place than the gate. If you occupy that place, the enemy will make every effort to recapture it.
Because it’s the only way out.
Because supply is cut off.
It will come back with great pressure.
That’s not all.
There are a lot of corpses, so it’s good to gather an army.
It is also perfect for digging traps.
If so, the answer is set.
At this point, an entire occupied territory has already been destroyed. Let’s move before the enemies prepare.
That way, more damage can be caused.
but… .
Capture the gate single-handedly.
Is it really possible?
I don’t know how many enemies there are. If there were more than here, I would get a little tired too.
‘There are 4,000 invasion troops waiting at the gate.’
Did you feel my heart like that?
My disciple also gave me information about the invading army.
‘4,000? ‘There’s more enemies than I thought.’
‘huh. Except for the first invasion, the number of soldiers guarding the city decreased as they occupied all the surrounding cities. So the battle will be easier than before.’
‘Thanks for letting me know.’
‘Hi-Hi. And the Kingdom of Leonis decided to send 10,000 reinforcements. I think they are sending it out to get a share of the news after hearing that the leader of the invasion force is dead and retiring. Estella even requested it herself.’
‘You’re quick to notice.’
‘And with the news of Leonis’ victory and participation in the war, the Allied forces decided to send additional troops from the south. This will also put great pressure on the invasion force.’
‘Hoo.’
This is good news.
In the north, Estella’s imperial army.
In the west, Caesar’s army.
In the south, the Kingdom’s allied forces.
and… .
Is it me in the center?
If that’s the case.
I guess we should go quickly and take over the gate.
But before that.
“Everyone gather in one place. Sort out the corpses of humans and Uk people scattered around and lay them down.”
He ordered a large army of undead to collect the corpses.
A promise made to my disciple and Estella.
It is for a funeral.
ᛒᚢᛚᛏᚬᚬᛅᛟᛚᚨᛛᛚ᛬.
Burn up.
The body was cremated.
Next, he had each undead army dig a hole and cover it with ashes, and then each dig a grave to lie down in.
This is the end.
ᛒᚢᚱᚾᛅᛚ᛬ᛅᚪᚲᚬᛦᚬᛤᚨᚱᚬ.
Go back to the original.
“Oh… .”
Rattling.
Undead army disbanded.
Let’s leave now.
Pot!!~
I took out the key handle from my subspace pocket and summoned a motorcycle.
Puhwaaang!!!
Advance.
I headed to the gate alone again-
[for a moment!! I will drive so come out!! Shouldn’t you rest!!]
“… … … Anyway.”
Artrot popped out.
I give up my seat to the guy and transform into a baby Hwansu.
[Pahahaha!! I’ll run to my heart’s content!!]
The two of us headed to the gate.
*
“… Ugh… … .”
“Kaidor!! Are you okay?”
“… Where?… … .”
A fortress occupied by an invading army.
As Kaidor moved his hand in front of his eyes to block the light, he noticed something strange.
“… … My arm… .”
“You need to seek medical care. We’re keeping the severed arm, so you can reattach it when you return to the tower. Don’t worry.”
“… … I am defeated.”
“We kicked out the warlock. Please, rest assured.”
It was quick to realize the situation.
After being ambushed by a white-haired man named Dirus, who was running the undead, he made an unreasonable decision to settle the matter, and was defeated and had his arm cut off.
Suddenly, I saw that my face, except for my eyes, nose and mouth, was covered with bandages. The warm sensation probably caused a big wound on my face.
“… What happened after I fell?”
“Noble warriors united around the great warrior Neldro to drive out the enemy.”
noble warrior.
It refers to those who have high-level power of 7 to 8 stars and can stand up to the competition on their own. In other words, it is an elite force that can defeat even a god if it attacks together.
After chasing Dirus out, they picked up the collapsed Kaidor and completed emergency treatment here.
“How long have I been down?”
“Just two days have passed.”
“Has anything else happened so far?”
“Actually… .”
“Tell me.”
“Yesterday afternoon, the city of Netrion occupied northeast of the gate was attacked by the enemy.”
“Is it the Edeline Allied Forces?”
“That’s not it… It is said that the man appeared, raised the corpses piled up in the city, and massacred our allies with violence.”
“… … … That guy?… In one day?”
The face suddenly distorted.
Of course, I knew that it would harass the army until the retreat, but I had no idea that it would target the troops deployed in the occupied area, not the main unit.
No, it would have been natural for him.
Even if the main army cannot attack, it can attack the troops spread out across the empire. Because it is weak compared to the main force and has no great warriors.
A noble warrior at best.
“… … So what happened?”
“… You are defeated. Everyone has run away and is moving to another occupied area… First, I ordered them to come together as much as possible.”
“… … … .”
I clenched a fist that didn’t even exist.
The occupied territory was lost to only one person.
There’s no way you wouldn’t understand. The dangerous thing was not the main unit but other allies.
“… How many people have died?”
“Estimated to be more than three thousand.”
“Three thousand or so… To just one person… … .”
Moreover, everyone would have become undead.
The corps will hit another fortress again. Considering the speed of the corps’ advance, you may suffer damage to 1 or 2 more fortresses at most.
If you leave it alone, it becomes more dangerous.
I shouldn’t let them run wild… .
“Also, the Bytrons decided to quit the invasion and return first.”
“… That’s not good. Couldn’t you persuade him?”
“From the moment the Thunder Ice Godhead died, they were already skeptical. I will no longer intervene in the war.”
“Ha. I can’t do anything because I can’t move. If Galikstan had been alive, I would have let him go after him without worrying… … .”
You can’t chase after yourself.
He is a commander and has already lost his fighting ability.
If the castles occupying the empire are destroyed one by one, the damage will be enormous.
However, if we dispatch noble warriors as a separate detachment, I am anxious about what kind of scheme he may get caught up in. If even they were lost, the entire invasion force could be in danger.
“It was dried tightly. No, it’s too fast.”
Even if it’s only one day.
Dirus traveled a long distance, attacked and recaptured the occupied territory in just one day. We don’t know how many more casualties there will be in the future.
So, he made a decision.
“… If I want to attach my arm, I’ll have to return to the tower.”
I decided to return to the army immediately.
“Yes. I already have a route planned. I will be able to return within four days at the earliest.”
“Other occupation areas may be attacked while you go, so gather all the loot and hostages at the gate.”
“Yes.”
“Phew… .”
I shook out my hair.
Even though we were ambushed and stopped at that time and lost due to a reckless decision, we still have a strong army.
Regular soldiers may suffer, but at least they are not in danger.
rather… It should have been like this a long time ago.
There is so much lost in just one mistake.
But it cannot be reversed. We need to think about the present rather than the past.
“… Move now. I don’t know what he might do again.”
“Yes.”
Kaidor stood up with the support of his subordinate. Even though he lost both arms and his face was crushed into a mummy, he was a great warrior.
If you respond calmly even now, you will be able to prevent further damage.
Although the enemy is not considered undead… .
At least you can empower your subordinates.
Let’s calm down.
Wounds can be treated at the tower.
Since the two severed arms were also recovered, there was no need to go to the chimera restoration specialist. You can treat wounds more cheaply and recover faster.
After that… .
‘Be prepared. ‘It will be different next time.’
He took revenge on Dirus.
But even for a moment.
grasp!!
“Keydor!!!”
A warrior opened the door and came in.
Looking at the urgent expression, I could immediately sense that something was wrong.
“… What is it?”
“Gate is under attack!!!!”
“What?”
“The man appears in front of the gate and raises the undead to attack.”
A very quick point in time.
no way.
“Crazy guy… Didn’t he come by raising the undead, but did he move alone?!”
It is quite possible.
He had already predicted how he would come out and occupied the gate in advance.
At least four days for the main unit to arrive at the gate. There is no way to know how large the undead army will grow in the meantime, and the fight cannot be avoided.
“I’m tired… .”
Gathering at the gate is canceled.
Gathering at different garrisons left only an all-out war as an option.
Of course, there is nothing to be afraid of. No matter how many undead troops there are, you will not be defeated. The key is how much damage can be reduced.
It shouldn’t be difficult if you prepare well.
but.
“And it was confirmed that the imperial army had gathered in the north, and the Allied forces had crossed over from the west and south. One occupied territory is already under attack from the south!”
“What?”
Human soldiers are approaching from all directions.
This gets a bit difficult.
The timing is so exquisite.
No matter how strong you are, it is a bit difficult to deal with the Allied Forces scattered all over the place. Every time that happened, the noble warrior and the demi-god Galikstan were sent to move separately, but now even that is impossible.
To put it simply, the table has been turned over.
Originally, the decision was made to withdraw to reduce damage, but now it is really dangerous. In other words, they had no choice but to retreat to escape.
We have to retake the gate somehow.
Supply was cut off.
Allied forces are coming.
If you don’t deal with the gray-haired guy before then, you won’t be able to win, let alone return to your home country.
therefore…
A fight I could never lose.
Before I knew it, it had dried up like this.
Dirus. Because of that one existence.
